Conservation
Stick to existing paths and avoid disturbing dune vegetation; small-group tours and private picnics limit impact, but take all trash with you and use reusable containers when possible.

Watch weight limits
Bikes and e-bikes have a combined rider+bike limit; confirm weight and equipment options when booking to avoid issues.
Helmet
Provided by the operator but bring or request a preferred fit if you need one.
